Hi, there is a big lack of CP (and even CN, but at least there is a decent amount) content on JR, Is there a reason for this like JR for some reason does not like CP, there is no demand for it or is it just pure coincidence? There are a bunch of CP locos like the GP20C-ECO and ES44AC that JR could make. Did anyone else notice this? Will there be more CP locos in the future?

Thanks for your time, CPRailSD40-2.
 
I think it is due to the lack of accessibility to CP cabs and lack of interest, at least thats what I had heard through the grape vine before.
 
Lets face it. With how CP is managed and with what they wanna do with NS. CP sucks and is the worst railroad around. Imo.

If you want CP content. Feel free to build em.

Just kidding....in all seriousness alot of the locomotive models CP uses have some sort of special bits to them that we just dont have access to so we can get it right. We dont just look at a loco and wing it on the dimensions, we want to get it right. Then you have the cabs too, theres some internal differences in those as well in some cases.

Some have to understand its not just as simple as " hey make a GP20C-ECO" and it magically appears.

Well someone is being very opinionated. Some people like Canadian Pacific even though it's got a terrible owner
 
It's called RESPECTING OTHERS OPINIONS.

That goes both ways mind you. You have your opinion, they have theirs.

Discussing the business practices of a railroad is all well and good, just not here. This "My railroad can beat up your railroad" nonsense is silly.
 
It's just that I've seen trainman7616 show this behavior on multiple occasions, and it's not ok. Maybe he thinks just cause he's a content creator everyone should warship him. not the case buddy.
 
You can keep trading insults back and forth, for eternity, derailing a thread off topic, until a thread gets locked ... an infighting COC violation behavior, which happens more and more lately on the Forum ... Nobody is willing to STFU ... it takes 4 feet to stomp out a flame war grass wildfire.

I have plenty of CN/CP/VIA/SOO locos and cars
 
Congratulations; you all have an opinion. :clap:

Let me quote the most important reply of this topic and call it with that:
